Does anyone have direct experience using drag radials verses slicks? I'm thinking about using BFG 345/55R15 (12 width x 29.9 ht.) instead of 12-14 in. width slicks in a 10 second street car. I'm curious as to how much e.t. will be lost.

You'll have an 11 second car with DR's if no other changes are made.

It all depends on your combo. If you are set up for a "hard" hit off the line you will/can spin the Drag radials.
Pontiac Dude running a 3500 converter has run 1.4 60 ft's and as quick as 9.44 with 295/65 DR's. (10in wide, 29.9 tall) The 12 wide DR's would even be better, but there are some tips to making them work best. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
